Definitions

  • the invention relates on the one hand to a method for producing a constant length over its cross-section hollow profile made of thermoplastic material by the cooling nozzle method, wherein a melt of the plastic extruded through a heated profile tool zone and immediately thereafter under pressing pressure by a cooled calibration zone with internal and external cooling of the hollow chamber profile and on the other hand an apparatus for carrying out such a method, comprising a heatable profile tool and a coolable calibration tool with a coolable hollow mandrel arrangement, the profile tool and the calibration tool are combined with the interposition of an insulating layer to a closed system with propagating melt pressure.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of producing complicated hollow chamber profiles with high accuracy at high speed.
  • the invention solves this problem in procedural terms, characterized in that the plastic melt in the form of independent open part profiles, which are arranged according to their position in the hollow section and between associated part of the bar ends still missing web parts, exiting the profile tool zone and the missing web portions in the calibration plastic melt flowing in under the pressing pressure is supplemented, as well as being cohesively connected with the associated part-bar ends from the melt heat.
  • At least the plastic melt located in the region of the partial web ends will be kept warm over an initial part length of the calibration zone, in order to ensure the cohesive connection or welding of the part web ends with the plastic melt that has run off under all circumstances.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the problems can be circumvented by the extrusion rate by the hollow chamber profile incomplete in open part profiles in the profile tool zone is generated and these sub-profiles only in the calibration zone by Pressing pressure nachf jobde plastic melt are added to the hollow chamber profile.
  • the subject of the invention is also a device of the method described.
  • the solution to the underlying problem is that the profile tool has on its side facing the calibration tool end face spaced from each outlet of Operafilkanälen and merge the sub-profile channels in the calibration in a guided to the end of the calibration hollow chamber profile channel. Since in the device according to the invention the profile tool has only partial profile channels for open part profiles, the hollow chamber mandrel arrangement is present only in the calibration tool.
  • the arrangement is preferably made so; that branches at least one supply channel for the plastic melt in the profile tool in the sub-profile channels, but of course each sub-profile channel can be supplied by a separate feed channel of the profile tool.
  • each sub-profile channel can be supplied by a separate feed channel of the profile tool.
  • the device shown in the figures is used to produce a constant over its length cross-section hollow chamber profile made of thermoplastic material after the cooling nozzle method.
  • the device consists of a heatable profile tool 1 and a coolable calibration 2 with a coolable hollow chamber mandrel assembly 3.
  • the profile tool 1 and the calibration 2 are interposition of an insulating layer 4, which also could consist of a thin layer of air, united to a not shown in detail closed system with propagating melt pressure.
  • the profile tool 1 is provided on its side facing away from the calibration tool 2 with supply channels 5 for the thermoplasticized plastic melt, which are branched into partial profile channels 6 for open part profiles. As shown in FIG. 3, these sub-profile channels 6 open at a distance from one another in the outlets 7 in the end face 8 facing the calibration tool. From the outlets 7, therefore, open, independent sub-profiles emerge; These are arranged according to their position in the finished hollow chamber profile and have between associated part web ends 9 still missing web parts 10.
  • the sub-profile channels 6 merge into a hollow-chamber profile channel 11 guided up to the end of the calibration tool 2 (cf., FIGS. 5, 7).
  • the still missing web parts 10 are supplemented by plastic melt flowing under the pressing pressure, as well as being cohesively connected or welded out of the melt heat with the associated part web ends 9.
  • FIG. 5 shows how a mandrel holding device 14 is designed for the coolable hollow chamber mandrel arrangement 3.
  • the mandrel holding device 14 with the hollow chamber mandrel assembly 3, which consists of two spines 15, 16, is made in one piece with the calibration tool 2; multi-part design would also be possible.
  • the bores 17 for the coolant for cooling the mandrels 15, 16 are merely indicated.
  • the method described for the production of hollow profiles made of thermoplastic material initially comprises the usual in cooling nozzles process control in which the melt pressure, which is present both in the nozzle and in the calibration, is kept constant by control operations - either the extruder or the trigger.
  • said production method is also suitable for processing propellant-containing melts and thereby to use the pressure regulation typical of the cooling nozzle method and / or to adjust the foam density by the ratio of extruder rpm (mass output) and take-off speed.
